what programming languages have the metaprogramming capabilities that a lisper would want to look at to learn/use it?


Nim, for one. It has an incredibly powerful macro and template system. But other languages with similar macro power include Elixir and Julia.

D has a generic system similar to Nim's, and a mixin system similar to Nim's templates, but doesn't have a powerful AST-manipulating macro system like the above languages.


this is like asking which restaurants have mom's cooking - none but there are plenty that are close enough and don't require you to travel all the way back to wherever your moms lives.
